CRUDE-OIL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 31, 1908.

Application filed May 8, 1907. Serial No. 372,535.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, John N. CARTER, citizen of the United States, residing at Wichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful lmprowunents in (-rude()il Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in liquid and gaseous fuel burners, and the invention has for its object an improved construction of crude oil burner which is adapted to generate the gas from a hydrocarbon oil, and which will be simple and durable in construction and efficient in operation, and capable of being readily applied to any of the ordinary forms of stoves, to take the place of coal or other solid fuel. I

With this and other objects in v w as will more fully appear as the dcscr ption proc'ceds, the invention consists of certain construetions and arrangements and combinations of the parts hereinafter described and claimed.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accoln 'ianying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved crude oil burner, showing it mounted in the fire pot of the stove, )art of the trough being broken away and other parts in section, to better illustrate the interior construction. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the trough or reservoir,

the cones being omitted. Flg. 4 is a detail side elevation of one of the cones and its supporting sleeve. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof. Figs. B and 7 are side elevation and top plan views, respectively, of a modified construction. v

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

That form of my invention illustrated in Fig. 1, is a double burner and comprises a trough or reservoir 1 adapted to be inserted in the fire pot of a stove and supported therein in any desired manner, as upon the grate 2. The said trough 1 is provided with bottom openings 3 that are surrounded by upwardly extending tubes 4. Sleeves 5 suraround the edges of the cones.

round the respective tubes 4 and rest removably upon the bottom of the trough 1 and to the upper edge of each sleeve a cone 6 is so cured. The sleeve 5 is preferably spaced from the tube 4 and is formed near its upper. edge with a series of orifices 7 above the upper edge of the tube 4. Preferably the cone 6 projects beyond the sleeve 5 on all sides, as clearly illustrated in the drawin 8 designates a supply pipe w iich in that-v form of the invention i lustra-ted in Fig. 1 is provided with two branches, the nozzle ends of which are located just above the apices of the. cones, so as to direct the oil upon the cones to the best possible advantage.

In the practical operation of my improved crude oil burner, the oil is supplied to the. pipes and llows therefrom upon the cones 6. As the oil drops upon the points of the cones, it will flow evenly over the entire surface of the cones and be heated and coming in contact with the air llowing upwardly and around the lower edge of the'cones, will be heated and burned. will hold any superfluous amount of oil before it is consumed, but when the entire device becomes hot and especially the cones,

The pan or trough 1- the oil will be consumed as rapidly as it comes in contact with the cones and -t he'air which [lows out from beneath andtlrrough the tubes 4 and out through orifices 7, Any suitable form of valve 9 may be ,proyided or applied to govern the supply.

In that form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, the trough or reservoir 1 is round and is adapted to support but one cone 6'. ln all practical respects this elm-- bodiment of the invention is like that just described, except as to the number of cones and shape of the reservoir or trough 1; but it is obvious that my invention is not limited to any particular shape or design of trough or to any number of cones.

llaving thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is: g

A burner of the characterdescribed, coinprising a trough adapted to re t within the [ire pot of a stove, the bottom of the trough being formed with an opening extending therethrough and having an upwardly ex tending tube surroui'iding said opening, a nozzle adapted to discharge oil and mounted above the trough, and a sleeve encircling and spaced from said tube and provided at its lgper and with a cone rpjecting downy In testirnonywheredf I gflix my signature wag by --bqlc lmilthela upper euge 5f thfi trlough in presence of two witnesses. an eyon t eseeve 0119, si es t eseeve a resting removabl on the bsttznn of the CARTER 5 trough and provi ed above the tube and be- Witnesses:
